dark fig id

Was given this plant by a friend who simply called it a dark fig. I'd like to ID after getting it to ripen.

The fig looks kind of like LSU Purple, but the leaves are slightly different to my eye.

Could be Black Mission

Here's my LSUPurple to compare. Very similar leaf. I tend to pick my figs early, so my fruit is hasn't achieved the deeper purple. Even when ripe, the meat is medium pink.

In my zone 7, it's a wonderfully headache-free and forgiving tree (and a consistent  producer).

I tend to agree with Jon on the Black Mission.
